A Word To The Wise
Or ... Victor Davis Hanson Provides a Wake-Up Call To Bob Goodlatte:
What mystifies is the paralysis of Republicans and their impotent protestations that “Bush did it”. The truth is that Congressional Republicans, responsible for turning principles into governance, deserve to lose—unless they craft clear positions that won’t be compromised and then offer them as alternative choices to the voters this fall.

In short, the Republicans’ problem? They forgot who they were and can’t explain what they might be. They need to go back to basics, adopt conservative principles to confront new challenges, and then find the most effective spokesmen they can to explain their positions—hourly.
And quit voting for bloated subsidies (and earmarks) intended to make the wealthy even wealthier. That's what Democrats do.

Bob.
